The Australian Recreational Fishers Party is a political party registered in May 2016 to contest federal elections in Australia.[2] A primary aim of the party is to prevent the use of super trawlers such as the Geelong Star in Australian waters.[3]

Its first election was the 2016 federal election when it fielded candidates in three of the five House of Representatives seats in Tasmania, along with two senate candidates, also in Tasmania.[4]
